Lucky fans and some season-ticket holders got final tickets at face value or a discount. They told WRAL that their tickets were between $170 and $500, but they’re reselling at much, much more.

So it seems like this is due to scalpers - who are ruining absolutely everything unfortunately. Fucking dickheads...

    Too many people decided during lockdowns that scalping was big money, and it's been atrocious ever since.

    It has been pretty damn shit way before covid. I remember back in 2010 ish where i wanted to go to a concert and the tickets sold out 0.2 nanoseconds after being available. I went then for like 20 bucks, because no one showed up and they sold tickets at a massive loss

    Ticketmaster was teaching people at conferences how to set up buyer bots to suck up all the tickets for scalping, because Ticketmaster gets a cut every time a resale happens as well as the initial sale. That's why it got so bad.
